Cracked.Com

I'm going to steal some ideas from one of my favourite comedy sites on the Internet - Cracked.com's format of using lists to speak about some everything under the sun.

The highlight of the site is not the content though as they refer to many other sources from the Internet but in the way they are being presented. The humour actually makes what people would call boring (read: history) into entertaining snippets. Better still you actually learn a thing or two because of the entertainment value from reading what would normally be consigned to the classroom or science journals. Paragraphs are often followed by often nonsensical images that illustrates something else along the context or actual images on related to the topic but with humourous captions.

I also love the fact that the writers actually do some sort of research into the topic before presenting their article. Whilst some of the referrals are arguable or even contentious,  they don't take themselves seriously and neither do the writers stand on the pedestal of infallibility.

Spend some time there - you'll love it.

Don't say I didn't warn you though - it's a serious time killer.
